Boro's coming home as club confirm Scarborough Sports Village return
Scarborough Athletic’s one-year exile from their home town is set to end on Saturdfay July 25, as they will tackle Barnsley in a friendly at the Scarborough Sports Village (SSV).
The National League North club was forced to play their home matches in Bridlington during the 2025-26 season due to problems with their home pitch.
A survey last year identified “serious structural issues” at the council-owned SSV, including a defective drainage system installed when the facility was first built.
Boro announced on social media: “This will be another momentous day in our history and more details around ticketing etc will be announced in due course.”
The game against League One Barnsley will kick off at 1pm, and there is et to be a bumper crowd for the pre-season clash.
A week on Saturday, June 20, Boro will hold their official home kit launch event at The Tow Bar, located on Mill Lane, Cayton Bay, from 12pm – the home kit being officially revealed at 3pm.
